Get more value from your assets
The world is undergoing major transitions that can have a significant impact on the value of our assets over time. Think of climate change, the energy transition, the digital revolution, the aging workforce, and geopolitical tensions. In this context, amidst the hustle and bustle of operations, we make daily decisions that influence the future value of assets. Whether it concerns investments in asset development, asset acquisitions, asset operations, maintenance, modifications, expansions, decommissioning, sustainability, safety, or efficiency improvements. We want to understand the impact thoroughly, but it is complex, has many dependencies, and changes over time.
Copernicos helps asset-intensive organizations gain comprehensive insight into complex changes, thus future-proofing the impact of decisions on the long-term value of assets. It combines asset management expertise with the system dynamics method. System dynamics is a method for understanding and modeling complex systems, emphasizing feedback loops and interactions between different components. Click on the video for more background on the application of system dynamics.
At Copernicos, we have a team of experienced asset managers with sector expertise and talented young professionals who have recently graduated or obtained their PhDs in system dynamics. We are also surrounded by a network of system dynamics modelers. We collaborate closely with universities (including Delft University of Technology) and are affiliated with the Institute of Asset Management and the System Dynamics Association. In collaboration with our clients, we have developed a way to utilize this unique expertise.
That’s how we do it
We make facts explicit and we combine facts, storylines and vision to create a system-dynamic model to support decision-making. So not only data and past results count, but also joint knowledge, experience, and future vision about, for example, innovations of your assets, sustainability of your assets and more effective use of your assets. In this way, you build a model together with which all stakeholders involved can handle new questions and developments about the future of the assets.
Our Asset Dynamics solutions and STORM method improve decision-making, allowing assets to perform better and create more value.

OUR APPROACH
connect, understand, improve
The Copernicos approach is an integrated one. Together with our clients, we examine various interests and goals and seek connections between them. We connect (seemingly conflicting) ambitions, map challenges and knowledge, and better understand the interconnectedness. Complexity is made visible, as are the underlying factors that influence performance improvement. Using scenarios, we create a shared vision of what the future could look like and what needs to be done in each project phase to get there. This makes it clear to everyone what needs to be done and why. This allows you to prepare for future developments and make well-considered decisions.
Connect with your goals, understand the interconnectedness, and arrive at better decisions.
